Fluff rice with a fork and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

Quick Save for Scorched Rice

If your rice starts burning, don’t panic! Instead, carefully bring the pot to the sink, run cold water over the bottom (to stop the cooking process) and gently shake the rice into a new saucepan, excluding any burnt grains. For extra insurance, place a slice of bread on top of the rice; cover the pan, and finish cooking. The bread will absorb any lingering burnt smell to help your grains taste as good as you intended.
